Hi,
I recorded a classical guitar player two weeks ago. For this recording almost anything used was DIY:
- The main mic was IOaudios MK-U47 connected to Colin's ez1073
This microphone has an original K49 fitted together with a pair of WE tubes.
The ez1073 is built exactly as per Colins instruction and has Carnhill Trafos fitted. For this recording the EQ was switched off.
- The room mics were 2 of Danys U87s
Both mics are in an original U87 housing together with an original KK87 head and a Cinemag 2480 Transformer.
Both were connected to a Gyraf G9 with OEPs on the input and Pikatron on the Output. The high pass filter was set to the 'low' position.
The mic arragement was:
Main Mic: Approx 50cm in front of the guitar (as seen on the link below) set to cardiod.
Room Mics form a triangle with the main mic and were set to omni. Spacing is approx 150cm.
The Converter used was RMEs ADI-8DS directly into Logic Pro X.
See the result here:

The equipment used this time:
- 2x Neumann KM84 (Main Mic approx 1m in front of the talent)
- 2x Neumann TLM170 (Blumlein, Room)
- 2x Neumann KM83 (AB, Room, only mixed in slightly)
All of the microphones were broken when I got them and needed some fixes.
They are connected to my DIY API Style Pres seen here: https://groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=63350.0
The configuration has been slightly changed on channels 5-6 though: There were gar2520 DOAs installed when we did the recording.
AD Conversion is by the Octo-Pre AD Card in the DIY Pre, clocked from a Mutec MC3+.
Update June 2018
Two additional Schubert pieces, same setup as for the two pieces above
